DRINKING HABITSby Tom Smithdirected by Christian PayneTwo nuns of the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been making and selling wine to keep their little convent open. Accusations and mistaken identities run rampant when local reporters go undercover to crack the story. Paranoia erupts throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Spirits and secrets are spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

About the Director:​Christian Payne got his start with the Uwharrie Players in 2004, during their production of ‘Ramona Quimby.’ A StanCo native, most of his local credits include on-stage roles with the Players and The Talent Company, which makes this new endeavor extra exciting. Christian received a degree in Dramatic Art and English Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. There he worked with several theatre companies in all capacities, gaining experience in design, performance, and directing. Christian is very excited to share his work with his home town and feels sure that everyone in the community will enjoy this laugh-out-loud comedy, “Drinking Habits!”
